We rolled in an update last night that enhances the Facility Check-In feature in two ways:

1) We’ve added the Member Badges (right-side of screenshot below) to give better visibility into what Memberships an an individual currently has plus other important inf (residency status, age etc). Also, if a Membership will be expiring within 14 days, a red badge will show up next to that check-in showing number of days till expiration

A release was rolled in last night that includes the following updates:

Global Household Updates

You now have the ability to update ALL Household information for a particular household with one transaction. This works great when there has been a change of address, a new cell phone has been added, a parental email has changed or there has been a change in emergency contacts. Global updates to households can be applied to any or all of the following profile sections

RecDesk supports the crediting of a Household Account rather than refunding via check, cash or credit card. This allows the balance to be applied to a future purchase/registration by any Member of that household. Each Household/Organization is automatically set up with a Household Credit Account with a zero balance.

Account credits can be debited/credited automatically through the normal Payment and Refund work flows, or manually by navigating too a customer profile (see screenshot below). A full audit history of ...

SMS/Texting

You can now SMS/Text individuals as well as Program and League/Team rosters. There are two new fields on the Member profile to support this: an “Opt-in SMS/Text” checkbox and a drop down to specify their mobile provider/carrier. This is required because the text messages are actually sent to an email address that consists of the individual’s 10-digit phone number plus the specific email domain for that provider. For example 5554443333@att.net. In order for a customer to receive a text, they ...

RecDesk now supports full Online Membership Enrollment via the RecDesk Community portal. Control over which Memberships are available for Online Enrollment and for which time periods is similar to the way it is done for Programs – there are two indicators on the Membership Definition – Online Enrollment and Show on Portal. Additionally, you can optionally specify Beginning and Ending Enrollment End dates.

You can read more about Online Membership Enrollment activation and procedures here in our Online Help Guide.

We’ll be implementing the Invoicing feature for all of our customers on 1/19/2015. It will be a relatively seamless update. With that said though, it will result in a minor change to the checkout workflow and we want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to learn more about it and ask questions prior to full-rollout.

We’ve expanded the exporting of Program Roster to now include ALL of a registrant’s profile information in addition to Names, Phone Numbers and Email Addresses of those individuals in their household marked as Head of Household. You no longer have to click Show All Columns first to do this export. Simply click on the Export Full Detail to Excel link under the Actions button.

We just implemented the first set of what we term Advanced Fee Options. The initial advanced option gives organizations the ability to restrict Fees to only those registrants who have an active Membership in one of the checked Membership Types (see below). There is now a Show Advanced Options link on each Program Fee line that can be expanded to access a list of currently active (or future) Memberships to set appropriate restrictions.
